Soil toil: Dig Dug / Warp & Warp

Another day, another NES Works Gaiden episode about Casio's PV-1000. In this case, we have two Namco games that would eventually make their way to Famicom. Dig Dug is a genuine B-tier video game classic; Warp & Warp is... not. But were these cartridges good enough to tide over the Japanese console audience's demand for Namco hits until the Famicom releases arrived two years later? Do they make the Nintendo versions obsolete? Are these, in short, the PV-1000's killer-app kingmakers? The fact that most of you had never heard of the PV-1000 before I launched this series is probably an existential spoilers to these questions. But still. It's fun to pretend. Special thanks to Christa Lee of Sound Retro Co. for modding this PV-1000 for composite output.
